Скачать или смотреть Digitizing Manuscripts: Preservation for Setting Narratives | Puranika N Bhatta |

This presentation explores the critical need for digitizing India's vast manuscript collections to preserve and reclaim authentic narratives. Through astronomical dating of ancient texts like Taittiriya Aranyaka using pole star references, the speaker demonstrates how traditional scholarship combined with modern technology can challenge conventional chronologies and counter academic colonialism. With India possessing 1-3 crore manuscripts compared to 20,000 in Greece, the scale of digitization required is massive but essential for preventing misinterpretations of Sanskrit terminology and maintaining civilizational continuity through integrated knowledge systems preservation.

Key Points:
Revolutionary astronomical dating of ancient texts through pole star references
The massive scale of Indian manuscript collections compared to those of global civilizations
Integration of traditional scholarship with modern digitization technology
Countering academic misrepresentations through searchable manuscript access
